Problems with Pythagoras!

Tim Baker has problems: he is struggling with maths, banished from Ancient Greece and trying to work out what makes a good father. When Hercules offers his own ideas about strength and courage, Tim’s questions lead him towards Pythagoras — and another encounter with the ancient world where answers are rarely straightforward.

Stella Tarakson’s Problems with Pythagoras! is the fourth Hopeless Heroes adventure, illustrated by Nick Roberts. The series mixes comic time travel with figures and ideas drawn from Greek myth and history, giving readers aged seven and over an energetic route into Ancient Greece while keeping the distinction between its modern adventure story and the ancient material it plays with.
